theSkynet News - 24/10/2011

You could try a full explaination here, as you know theskynet admin have been known to visit here, a team member may even spot something.


edgedemon - welcome to the team, a most welcome contribution :)

Colasanto - nice progress :)

Totally missed that one Phil :o ........Go OcUK :D, not watching the stats as much as I would due to work, sorry :rolleyes:
(Table shows team movements over the last couple of days)

One PC now sold, milkyway output dropped to zero and theSkynet drops a little too :(
Replacement PC should be operational in the next couple of days, hopefully all my ppd's should go up after that time :D
 
We can't be stomping 42. That's just not Cricket!

(neither is the England Cricket Team, but the less said about that, the better! :D)

Something strange going on here, we stomp Western Australia and we are still in 18th position and Curtin University at 11th come from nowhere :confused:

Another strange thing, OcUK team member DavidCopeman's stats have never displayed properly.
On the team ladder he has 4934 points but if you lookup his username he has 15,960 :confused:
 
May have been a new joiner. If they count affiliates the way SETI Classic used to count teams, that was quite common.

Can't account for the errant stats though.
 
My stats have never displayed correctly either. According to the OcUK alliance I have 3,288, yet on my dashboard I have 3,430 - a difference of 142. Not exactly as bad as DavidCopeman, but still perplexing nonetheless.

As I understand it any credits you got before you joined the team do not count towards the team score so are not displayed in the team ranking

That makes sense as I did read that if a member leaves a team the score remains with that team.
At first I thought that was a great idea but now I'm not so sure, this could make things very complicated in the long term.
 
Infact this is a problem now, so far Shadowscotland has done the news by collecting the team member stats by looking up each member individually.
This is actually giving the team incorrect stats in comparision to the team ladders on the web (although to be fair at the time we thought it was a system error).
That gives me a real headache regarding this weeks news stats :rolleyes:

And if that was not bad enough for me .....

As I said in a previous post I had a new PC about to go online.
Disaster - I was moving things around in the case when I temporarily disconnected a fan extension cable.
Now anyone that is familiar with these will know that it has 2 exposed pins at the end.
Totally forgetting about this I powered up again and the 2 pins were in contact with something.
Not sure what it was as I freaked out when I heard a noise and yanked the power cable.
Now when I try to power up I get nothing on screen and the mobo is showing 'FF', gutted.
Its my only AMD rig so I have no means of testing the mobo or cpu, b######s :mad:

Maybe why Curtin University came from nowhere is that they are adding more departments to the team.
[runs off to find the full faculty list :eek:]

Joining/leaving shouldn't affect affiliate stats. That's the right answer. We went through hell over that with SETI Classic.

But that does mean the stats collection method will have to change. Doesn't look like there's an easy way to collect an entire team in one go unfortunately.

And yes, I joined. I could only keep that secret so long! :)
